Germany, 2010, 56min; Turkish/English/Portuguese with english subtitles
The favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro and the favela tours which are organized for the tourist are the subjects of Tourism of Tourism. Rio de Janeiro has come one of the centers of ‚poverty tourism‘ which has spread around the world for the last few years.
Tourism of Tourism is a ‚monologue‘ about the daily life in favelas and the tours made there in a touristic, critical, questioning and emotional way, all from the perspective of one person, when favelas are shown as the heart of the drug dealing and poverty in most of the movies.
Dieser Film setzt sich mit den Favelas (Slums) in Rio de Janeiro und
den Favelas Tours für Touristen auseinander. Rio de Janeiro ist zu einem Zentrum von “Armutstourismus”
geworden, was sich in den letzten Jahren weltweit verbreitete. “Tourism of Tourism” ist ein touristischer, kritischer, hinterfragender und emotionaler Monolog über das tägliche Leben in den Favelas und die Tours aus der Perspektive einer Person., während Favelas in den meisten Filmen als das Zentrum von Drogendeals und Armut gezeigt wird.

„If I were a boy, what kind of boy would I be?“ Natalie performs subversive and raunchy drag shows under the name „Alte-Igor“ (a word game on „alter-ego“). In the film she shares questions and dilemas about her gender identity along side stories from her life and gives us an insight to how she ended up performing the character of Igor: a heartbreaking pop idol depicting the crisis of modern masculinity and performed by a woman.

Zanzibar: Una Storia D‘Amore (A love story)
Francesca Manieri, Moncia Pietbaneeci
Italy, 2009, 45min; italian with english subtitles
Zanzibar was the first women only bar in Italy. It opened in 1978 and since that moment, it was a target
for police so that it could be considered a sort of Italian Stonewall. It was a different place from the
others, a place of struggle and meeting, the emblem of the Italian feminist movement and its internal multiplicities.
Zanzibar is the story of a place. It is the story of love for a place and the love story between
two women imagining a place in which a different social living could be possible.
